Crimson's goal, and then Wurtemburg
ran with it to the twenty-five yard line.
Sears dOwned him. The next scrimmage
was hot, but COrbin ran through and
secured touch down and Bull had
kick for goal. 1t was an ugly one at a
sharp angle, but got there and the score
stood Yale II, Harvard O. Yale felt sure
of the game, but Harvard was encour-
aged by yells and good advice from all
sides. The ball was placed and Sears
made a long kick. Bull sent the ball
back and lively Scrimmage followed in
which
HARVARD GAINED CONSIDERABLY.
The Crimson was playing desperately.
Sears kicked the ball within the Blues
twenty five yard line, but Bull fumbled
it and before he could recover he was
dOwned. The struggle was fierce.
Harvard put the ball within five feet of
touch down, but then it was Yale'S
ball. She finally managed to get the bail
out about fifteen feet. In the scrimmage
Sears got the leather and ran through
the opposition. As he crossed the line
and fell on the ball, time was called.
The referee said that the touch down
came thirty seconds too late to count.
Harvard'S team kicked and their fellow
students hiSSed, but to no avail. The
first half was over and the score stood:
Yale IL, Harvard 0. The fifteen min
uteS' intermiSSiOn was spent in recuper-
ating and receiving advice. The crowd
had increased and the roofs and tobog
gan slide were used as standing room.
When time was called for the second
half. Yale had the lower goal and the
wind was with Harvard. The latter had
the ball. too, and with them it was do or
die. The rush line went forward and
Sears followed. His kick was a good
one. Bull sent the ball back to center
and then lively rush enSued. Porter
the ball back a third of the length of the
field. Yale
MADE A FOUL TACKLE
in the next rush, and Harvard got five
yards. Stafford, Wood, Bancroft and
BOyden then helped Harvard consider
ably, and got the bail threateningly
close to the Yale'S goal. Cummack was
disqualified and Appleton took his
place. Gradually Harvard forced the
bali down to within less than a foot of
Yale's line. Yale rallied and drove the
ball away. Then Porter made an adj
vance of ten yards and Harvard got five
yards for a foul tackle. Back Yale
drove the ball again. Beecher got off a
side and Harvard reaped five yards on
it. Graves fumbled the ball and it was
stopped by Buel about five inches in
side the line. BY desperate fighting
Yale sent the ball outside fifteen yards
from the line. 1t was brought in twenty
five feet. Parker got the ball and had
an excellent show for run to touch
down, but he slipped and fell. COrbin
kicked the ball but it rebOunded, and
Graves was compelled to make touch
down for safety. Score, Yale II, Har-
ward =.
THE NEXT SCRINIMAGE
resulted in Bull kicking the ball to
right center. Yale followed with eX-
cellent rushing, which ended in Ball
kicking to Harvard's twenty-five yard
line. Sears then gave out and SAKE
took his place. Bull got in what would
have been good kick had the ball not
struck MarkOe'S chest and bounded
past Bull. Harvard made grand rush
then, and Porter getting the ball. car
ried it TO within fifteen yards of Yale.
His running and lodging were a feature
of the game. The fight was hotter than
ever. Porter got the ball. and though
he carried it across the field, he could
get no nearer a touch down. He went
through on the next Scrimmage, and
secured the crimSOn'S first touchdown.
SAKE kicked good, and then the score
stood Yale eleven, Harvard eight, with
sixteen minutes to play. As soon as the
bail was again in play Woodruff carried
it ten yards forward. Both sides
WE'RE PLAYING TO WIN,
and Harvard intended to get the decid-
ing touch down at all hazards. Yale
must prevent it or lose what had looked
a sure victory. Yale forced the ball up
n l,I
around with the bail. 1t was Groves,
and he was not dOwned until he reached
Ilaryard'S twenty-five-yari line. Bull
then got the ball on pass from Beecher
and carried it to within five yards of
the erin sons line. Harvard was deS-
perate, and all rushing together put the
leather couple of feet. Yale sent it
back, so it Swayed for few minutes.
Then Yale foul tackled and Harvard
got five yards, which were much needed
then. They were increased to twenty
soon, by clever work, by Porter. On a
pass SAKE. by good kick. sent the ball
TO center, but Wurtlmburg got under
it and nearly reached the line when he
was dOwned. 1t was Yale'S ball and
again he got it, this time from Beecher.
DOdging in and out, squirming and
turning alternately, he got across the
SECURED A TOUCH DOWN.
The crowd then Swarmed allOyer the
field in the widest excitement, sweep
ing fences and ropes away. 1t was with
the greatest difficulty that the excited
men could be gotten back Then the
ball came out. 1t was a long and
difficult kick, and not one in twenty
believed that Bull could do it. He went at
it calmly. however, sighted the ball, and
then drove it between the posts and
over the bar. Score: Yale II; Harvard
S. Before the ball could be put in play
again, time was called. and Yale had
won the championship. The scene that
followed beggarS description, but it was
brought to a close by the victorious
players being borne off the field by their
fellow wearerS of the blue. Yale has
adopted Harvard'S cOlors for tonight,
and are putting crimson all over the
city.
